In the initial days of our forum, it is important to provide a better experience for the new users. We would love to engage with the new users as soon as they sign up (there are no user approvals here).
To do the above step, it is important to get notified in email about a new user signup (may be for a large forum, this can be disabled) as it is not practical to visit new users page everyday.
I couldnt clearly find out whether this feature is present or not. I saw the below thread which is discussed 4 years back and closed.
beat me to it @scombs that was my next recommendation in that you could use zapier in order to webhook upon user event so when they are created you could get it to send you an email. However I had an issue with the webhook working upon creation and only worked upon user update. I believe this was something that @fantasticfears was looking at as per this topic (not sure if it was that issue or the email issue that was being referred to)
Or you could just visit Admin, Users, New tab once every day and check their Messages to see if anyone sent them an individual welcome message. If you haven’t sent them a message, send it.
FYI - I went looking for this functionality today and it looks like there’s still no solution for this request, other than the workaround to vist the Admin, Users, New tab and manually review new users.
The Discourse Webhook “User Event” for Zapier will trigger when a user logs in, logs out, is created, approved or updated - not just created - so that solution is too noisy for a simple new user email notification.
I agree too. Everything else is great! This use case is vital for a private community where the admins are not moderators & reciprocally. Please add the feature. Alternative, is to create a post somewhere visible by all saying, “user xyz has joined the forum, please join me in welcoming him!”.
The general concern I have here is that this is making “system” create noise posts.
One alternative is using Discourse Policy to define a “policy” that applies to say TL0 in a tiny community, reminding them to post an “about me” topic.
I feel that getting System to do all the work here kind of detracts from the “Introduce yourself” aspect here where welcomes are far more personal.
There are a bunch of other options here, including unlocking a section of reviewable users (in our new reviewable system by @eviltrout) to a wider audience, so anyone say TL1 and up can “review” the new users and do the needful of saying hello and starting a conversation.
I totally get the underlying problem that, signing up is easy, making people say hello is hard.
Com certeza, as notificações para administradores seriam algo bastante fundamental? Se não estiver implementado, isso pode ser um impeditivo para usar o Discourse como meu novo fórum.
Em resposta à minha própria pergunta, leituras adicionais sugerem que adicionar acesso de moderador à conta de usuário administrador pode resolver o problema…
Estamos em 2025 e ainda nĂŁo temos o recurso de enviar e-mails.
Gostaria do seguinte:
Enviar um e-mail para o administrador quando um novo usuário for criado
Enviar um e-mail de boas-vindas no novo cadastro
Eu li várias soluções alternativas, mas são apenas soluções alternativas e não e-mail. Certamente precisamos desse recurso. Eu executo meu próprio servidor de e-mail, então não quero usar nenhum serviço pago.
